The ongoing PhD project focuses on resettlement and reintegration work with male inmates in high security prisons. It is a qualitative study that explores how the reintegration and work related to this is understood and experienced by inmates and former inmates, and employees in and outside prison involved in this work, and puts it in the context of key policy documents. The purpose is to explore barriers and facilitators for reintegration and further development of this work. The digital society and the impact it has on reintegration of prisoners is a key part of the project.
